Seannachie Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 falfil - 2014-03-01 8:25 PM mine's a left hand drive , so your saying if I speak with a french accent I'll be alright ? No, don't do that. You'll sound like one of those clowns on 'Allo. Allo' and the French don't like people who make a mug out of them. Just try passing off a 10 French Frank coin as a 1 Euro one and you'll see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erneboy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 rolandrat - 2014-03-01 8:40 PM Auto-Trail v Hymer no contest. Hymer every time I am sure there are some fast Autotrails too. It would be an interesting race though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falfil Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'm beginning to feel much easier now , in fact for the first time in my life I feel superior and the old bus only cost me £5000 B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seannachie Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 rolandrat - 2014-03-01 8:40 PM Auto-Trail v Hymer no contest. Hymer every time Does that explain why Hymer owners don't like to acknowledge other MH owners - they think they're superior or something? Well, I'll have you know that just because I can only afford an old Commer self-build, I'm as good as anyone else. Even the Caravan Club acknowledged that when they allowed me to join - mind you, they did want a lot of info and pictures, but eventually after weeks of correspondence I got my membership card. Just a pity their camp-site wardens often turned up their noses at my old rig and forced me to pitch in the most inhospitable and out of sight parts of their sites. I say 'their sites' but really they were 'our sites' as we're the ones who pay their wages. Funnily enough, every time I had to remind one of these opinionated Hitlers of that fact, they always staretd bleating on about how little they actually did get paid - as if I, a poor OAP on basic State Pension was as rich as Croesus.

EDIT: Oh, surprise, surprise, you're not going to bother. After all, it's done only 25,000 miles so why bother having the cambelt changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugga Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I have always noticed that Hymer owners are a breed of their own. We always refer to ours as "The Campa" or "Helga" and quite frankly its just a motorhome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Cos he really bought an old Commer and is just coming it. Maybe he'll wave to me in mine as we pass - remember to change down into third and give it lots of welly when passing, and just ignore the blue smoke.

Never The Old Bus FFS. Always, always The Hymer. Pay attention, you will never fit in calling it The Old Bus. And if I were you I would never admit that you paid £5,000 for it. Say it's a very valuable classic and Hoomer want it for their collection at Bad Whatsit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just you wait 'till you get to my age. On the other hand, were I your age, you wouldn't dare speak to me like that . All you youngsters are the same these days, all piss and vinegar, but just you wait, if you're lucky you'll get to my age then let's see how you like being cheeked by young 'uns and if it wasn't for folk like me, you'd all be speaking German and driving on the wrong side of the road.
